Out of these 38 new appointments, 33 are IAS officers and only 5 are non-IAS. These 5 non-IAS comprised 1 CSS, 1 IPoS, 1 IDAS, 1 IAAS & 1 IRPS. Wah... IAS lobby wah... you have achieved it once again. You have hijacked this new government also. Modiji needed some serious reform here. Please look beyond what is fed to you by the self serving IAS lobby.

IAS /FS is and will remain an elite service whichever government comes . No one can compromise our domestic and external requirements to manage and execute policies . One should reconcile to this mere fact that top service of our nation remains to be IAS/FS no matter how much one grunts over it !

The IAS have a definite agenda-cozy up to the politico-corporate nexus, subvert the democratic institutions,harass the common citizens and maintain hegemony. No other service or organization can really challenge them.They will continue to keep the country backward and underdeveloped through their loot of public money and mismanagement. Only a true democratic movement for genuine democracy can end their supremacy.It will take some more time to organize itself.

India will continue to lag behind in all fields unless we switch over to the ''specialist system.' An IRS should become the Finance Secy, a Doctor should be our Health Secy, an IPS officer should be Home Secy, An academician should be Edu. secy, Secy M/O I. Broadcasting should be from IIS....so forth..Jai ho!!!

Every unjust system will have its end. Some may take days, some months, some years, some decades but end is inevitable. The unjust hegemony of IAS will also end one day. One can only hope its sooner than later. The British imperialism was replaced by the IAS hegemony in 1947. Just like the British, the shadow of the IAS will also vanish from this country. The movement against IAS is gaining ground and one day it will flourish no matter how much backstabbing and intrigue the IAS lobby does.

Crores of Indians dreamt of independence during British time and white people kept on repeating that the sun never sets in British empire. Now Great Britain almost lost its own backyard (Scotland). So this anonymous IAS can keep on repeating "keep dreaming you CS wallahs". But ur coment smacks of sheer arrogance man seen only during British imperialism. Anyway you can enjoy your current dreams till we wake you up from your deep slumber.

Modi is a person from State having successfully worked with IAS beaurucrats so naturally he will be at ease with IAS and the position of IAS is likely to achieve dominance.On the other hand Manmohan Singh had worked with central services specifically IES so he was sympathetic to Central Services and he increased bargaining position of other services and in a way IAS position was challenged under him.Despite the debate Modi effect is visible and few very good officers have been chosen. Kudos to Modi.

IAS officers are just a those officers who were ranked first in an exam some time ago. Due to that, they have served in areas where they gathered more holistic experience. Rather than departments working in silos which would be the case if we appointed specialists to head departments, I think it is imperative that we have people feom the same service at the top to ensure some amount of concerted effort by ministries.

Churchill rightly said we dont deserve freedombecause the country will be taken over by rascals and scoundrels..... even water and air will be taxed....... We have these guys in abundance.. babus,collectors,IAS officers,Politicians,Ministers and their kin. For once in decades, a ray of hope is being seen by the public other than the scoundrels named, with the coming of Modi. For once, the Babu's are getting sore backsides. LOL

Bureaucrat, Businessman, Politician nexus is formulating policies in the country at present. As a result, India is remaining as a developing country. Every Department needs a domain specific scientific Adviser and not IAS cadre officer to formulate policies. Administrators can only administer a policy, they cannot and shouldn’t advise on policy formulation. The present Govt should bring the much needed change in the Governance, by according due importance and power to the domain specific scientists, researchers and technocrats.
